That doesn't seem right. I wouldn't think your trans temp would be higher at the end of the run than at the beginning. Especially a jump of 50*, that doesn't seem possible.

At the beginning of a run you brake stall in the water box which generates a good amount of heat. Then if your brake stalling the launch, you're generating additional heat on top of what you already did in the water box. I couldn't see a 120* trans temp at the beginnong of a run. Your trans temp should drop at the end of the run if your cooler is doing it's job.

Well i only brake stall for about 2 secs at the line, also that is only at 1500-2200rpm, that little time and low rpm will not generate that much heat comparted to 7k.... Also the run only last 13 secs sooo that is not really enough time for the cooler to cool things down, especially running threw the gears with the TC unlocked, the entire time... BTW, i am running a 40k cooler and i bypassed the radiator...

so the trans temp monitors the cool fluid in or the hot fluid out or somewhere in between?

i know some coolers say they drop temps 20* but has anyone actually monitored the hot and cold side to see what the affect is?
